Rear tires rubbing
whats up guys?
Well as the title say's i have a problem. The car has 285x30x18's on the rear and 225x30x18in the front. supposedly from what the guy i bought it from told me there is a two and a half inch drop in the rear and a inch and a half in the front. When my father was driving it we noticed when we would take a turn over 20 mph you could here the tires hitting and every bump it does the same. I love the car but i will not drive it the way it is and im dying to drive her because i just got her today Now my question is if i buy tokico illumina's what would the ride height be i looked and couldnt find anything that said what it would be. I really dont want to go lower than a inch my father wants it to be factory ride height. What drop or if any what should the ride height be to sustain those tires?
thanks

well that was my mistake and yes they are 245's in the front lol. The rims are a staggered set from RUFF Racing. The rear has a 3inch dish and the front are inch and 3/4. So my father went ahead and ordered a stock set of shocks and springs for the front and rear, because someone he works with has 7 of these cars and told him to order them. This is the car I bought.

wow did your father order them new from the dealer?
that would be absurd... for the money you could get so much better parts with adjustability too...
I think those wheels are pretty heavy, arent they?

Yes my father did order them new from the dealer. But, since he works for holman i get them for cost I wanted to just put the racing beat springs on but he wanted it to be factory height( i hope it doesnt look like a monster truck lol ). I guess if it still rubs after that im going to have to get the wells flared or should i just do it anyway? Even though im not running a 40 profile like cewrx7r1 would i have to with a 30? And yes i bet those rims are heavy as hell but i love em
